how to make UITextView text entry word wrap automatically?

[halusha]

Is there a way to make UITextView (multi-line text edit control) word wrap automatically? I can't figure it out for the life of me, and I find it hard to believe Apple didn't put this functionality in there somewhere. I've seen multiple apps from the app store, and the Note entry screen in the Contacts app do it, but I suppose they all could have implemented custom behavior in the control to do it. Any help is appreciated!

In Interface Builder, there are checkboxes for UITextView controls that lets you specify whether or not to have Horizontal and/or Vertical scrolling.

Does anyone know how to do that same thing with the API? I don't use Interface Builder.

Alright I must be smoking something. Maybe they fixed it in the final firmware release....since I hadn't worked on this particular screen since beta 6. Nevermind my ramblings, it seems to be working just how I want it.

i still haven't been able to figure out how to enable horizontal scrolling in my UITextView, actually my text width is greater than the iphoone width and i'm placing it in a UITextView but it just doesn't work...

I think there is no API for setting word wrap for textview.

But I have one suggestion, If the text view text is not more than the visibility rect, then you can use one UILabel and use one button for switching edit mode, in edit mode ten show the text view.

this won't solve your issue but u can think some thing from this ...
